About
Neverwas (2005) – the first feature film from writer and director Joshua Michael Stern - never received wide distribution and has largely been forgotten, but its beautiful music certainly deserves to be widely heard. The 53-minute Glass score, composed the same year as the composer’s celebrated soundtrack to the Oscar-winning “The Hours”, possesses some of Glass’s most accessible and heartfelt music. The conductor and pianist is long-time Glass associate, Michael Riesman.
Weaving together fantasy and reality, past and present, Neverwas is an enchantment-filled, life-affirming tale about a young man who discovers that his childhood fantasyland may really exist. Zach Riley (Aaron Eckhart) is a successful psychiatrist looking for answers about his father's troubled past at the Mill Wood psychiatric hospital. His father, T. L. Pierson (Nick Nolte), author of a wildly popular children's fantasy called Neverwas, struggled with manic depression that ultimately led to his suicide. Among Zach's patients at Mill Wood is a man with a poor connection to reality, Gabriel (Sir Ian McKellen), who seems to know a lot about Zach, his father and the land of Neverwas. He also meets a woman (Brittany Murphy), an ardent fan of the Neverwas story and its author, who may have a hidden agenda. Zach must get to the core of the origins of Neverwas before he finds the answers he's looking for.
